Perfect conditions again tonight. Ran a new PB for the 3000m and the 1000m. In the 3000m I think I paced it pretty well ( I was trying to run 78's) but really started to run out of leg juice at the end. Interesting because I think usually I find the heart and lungs the limiting factor, tonight I think it was the legs - probably down to the reintroduction of the leg drills and the tough intervals on Tuesday. Still 9:45.8 is a good PB and close to what I was hoping for out of tonights meeting. 40 minutes later we fronted up for the 1000m. I blew it by running a soft 2nd and 3rd 200m ; I was saving myself a bit too much, because when I got the bell I was like " oh crap it's only one lap to go!". Anyhow, I managed a strong last lap to finish in a respectable if unremarkable 3:01.8. All in all a good night, but again no competition at all - it'll be good to see what I have when pushed by someone else (hopefully the times would be better!) - I 'll see if I can persuade the b-man to come out.
3000m splits:
37, 78.4, 78.0, 78.7, 79.4, 79.8, 79.3, 75.2 : 9:45.8 (km splits 3:13.4 3:16.7 3:14.7)
1000m splits
0:35.9, 0:38.2, 0:37.9, 0:36.1, 0:34.1 : 3:01.8

Great PB!
Are you brave enough to dream of a sub 9 minute?
Well, I'm really trying to concentrate on the 3-5k distance, but gee - 45 seconds is a lot! One *can* dream though!
Awesome!
